Socialism is a misnomer for the progressive preferences of the American majority.
63% of U.S. adults say the government has the responsibility to provide health care coverage for all. The Republicans mistakenly call that socialism and offer no plan, except to eliminate the Affordable Care Act.
67% of U.S. adults say the federal government is doing too little to reduce the effects of global climate change. Moving away from fossil fuels creates millions of new jobs and huge economic expansion, plus it addresses climate change positively. But again, it’s called socialism.
Socialism is where you guarantee the outcome being the same, but what we’re doing is promoting the idea of starting at the starting line equally and everyone having a chance to start equally. So it’s like everyone should be able to go to the gym, use the best gym, use the same equipment, the same food supplements, whatever it is, but the outcome is never guaranteed.
